Detecting HTML5 Drag And Drop support in javascript

drag-and-drop, html, javascript, standards

Solution

You can do this:

if('draggable' in document.createElement('span')) {
  alert("Drag support detected");
}

You can see a quick demo test using the above check here.

Also, there's a nice feature detection (not browser detection, yay!) list that's fairly well maintained here in case you're looking for other HTML5 features as well.

Problem

I'm trying to detect the HTML5 Drag And Drop support in JavaScript. Modernizr seems to not handle this test case.
